I don't know what my calendar for the summer and fall will be but I can't guarantee right now that I can also jump from "intrigeri will not be able to start this until some time early August" to "kickstart this effort with a sprint [in August]" (implicit in your email). _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
